Born 1958, studied fine and commercial art in late 1970's, worked for a while as graphic artist, but then left for 20 years as a programmer. In 2004 went out on my own as a digital painter. For the last year or so I've been developing an illustration portfolio, for the greeting card/poster/print publishing markets.

Well, I just love art.
For commisson and collaboration work just ask or contact me here, my facebook page, deviantart, wordpress blog, or my email kyouzins@gmail.com. I am a freelancer and I will be available if I will make it work.
I love raster/pixel/traditional arts before but my current focus now is vector arts. Why vector arts? Because for me vector art is a mathematical digital art not based on pixel. It means the art is resizable without losing or gaining any details and features, flexible for more shapes manipulation, quick edit for changing and limiting the numbers of colors, effects and more.
My goal path: Raster -> Vector -> 3D -> Effects -> Animation -> Mixed -> Tools Development.
More crazy experimental Vector Arts soon.. :D
